ANN ARBOR, MI — Clevite Engine Builder Showdown Champion Lanny Barnes will showcase his engine building prowess live tonight on the Fox Sports Net program, Totally NASCAR, by taking part in a live engine build.
Barnes and Showdown build partner Todd Hamm, both of Richard Childress Racing, will see if they can beat their previous engine build time of 20 minutes and 52 seconds.
The live program will feature Jeff Hammond and will open by introducing this year’s Showdown Champions and then giving a brief explanation of the Showdown series. During the program, Barnes and Hamm will be seen in the background and will continue to build the 357 cubic inch Ford engine — similar in design to those used by NASCAR’s Ford race teams — from the block up. Upon completion of their build, they will fire up the engine and then shoot back to Hammond in a post build interview.
The show Totally NASCAR will air at 5:30 p.m. (EST) on Fox Sports Net.
